Why You Should Watermark your PDF files

The use of watermarks on PDFs has various advantages:

1. It can help to increase brand recognition by adding a logo or name to all files sent to customers and clients. This can make the brand more memorable and always in their minds.
2. Watermarks can be used to categorize documents by adding words such as "Confidential", "Original", or "Copy". This helps to identify the type of file received and brings order to document circulation.
3. Textual watermarks can be used to share contact information or add comments for coworkers. It allow you to write whatever you want.

Here are some helpful suggestions for adding a watermark to your PDF:

• When adding a watermark to a document that contains important information, make the watermark as transparent as possible, but still maintain some level of opaqueness for it to be effective. The watermark shouldn't be too distracting or make the text unreadable.
• It's best to make your watermark relatively large and place it in a location that is difficult to remove or crop out. Avoid placing it in a corner or on a plain background, as small watermarks are not noticeable. Instead, place the watermark in the middle or repeat it throughout the page.
• If you want to use a watermark for classification purposes, make it as visible as possible. For example, if you want to label a document with the word "COPY," make it large and semi-opaque.
• Choose your watermark color wisely. Avoid bright colors unless they are part of your brand. Your logo or text should be noticeable without being too distracting or unprofessional.
